I saw the emoji before I read the text, and thought "I'm sure that's rude in Italian"...

That's exactly what I thought but without the Italian part. "It's rude to someone, just not sure who."

We had a silly childhood game.... if you made that gesture (had to be below mid level) and could get someone to look you could punch them on the shoulder. Now it's just a 'I tricked you into looking' kinda thing for those who used it that way.

A full user guide was provided at the bottom of my posting (naughty words aren't allowed in the Lounge -- non dire parolacce; c'e' la mia sorellina).

If a picture is worth a thousand words, but one emoji needs a 14-page PDF to explain it...the point's been missed.
I stick with words. It's one of the first things I was taught.

Never seen anybody with a smile using that gesture. Usually it's in the context of "What the **** do you want!!".
Then they flick their chin.

WTF do you want from me? (CC vuoi?)/WTF are you saying? (CC dici/stai a dire?). Same cart, different apples -- which is pretty much how language works.Gerry Schmitz wrote: Then they flick their chin.
That's "Non me ne frega un catso".
You'll notice that I'm only teaching the most important and functional parts of the language. All training courses should be this way.
(Same thing with the "ts" and "zz".)

It must have had a great UX designer[^].
I love the way they're blaming users, and not the makers of the app.
How hard can it be to make an intuitive app that people can tap a few details into and press send?

Very hard, it would seem.
BTW, are you getting better, or doing this from your sick-bed?
|
|

Slowly getting better, but it takes Ebola or Bubonic Plague to get me into a sick bed. I'm not the type to just lie there feeling ill and doing nowt, it drives me up the wall. 
Herself is still in her PJs under a puddle of blankets on the sofa snoring: she is the type to do that!

I have a friend who makes out he's at deaths door, when he has a cold.

25 years ago when I got glandular fever, I remember being really disappointed that I wasn't suffering more - I only took 3 days break from school.

I've been wondering the same thing. I mean, jeez, report the results from 1600 precincts? Un-elephanting-believable how someone can screw that up.
I can't wait for the news to report who actually wrote the app, and what language and framework they used.

That's already available from expense reports. "Shadow Inc" if you can believe that

These guys?[^]Quote: Lightrail is the universal adapter for political data. It’s a data integration and automation tool that makes it easier for users to get your organization’s data where it needs to go, and makes complicated workflows simple, repeatable, and scalable.
But it doesn't scale up as far as 1600, apparently.
addendum
I've crawled all over their extremely limited, off-the-shelf site, but, despite their claiming to deal with political data, there's no mention that they know what evil lurks in the heart of man.

Well what do you expect when you hire QuidPro Co to build your app?

I, for one, like Roman Numerals.

They probably got a company in Ukraine to write it.
